  • Autoextremist Chevy SS.Pdf
    Chevrolet SS @ Autoextremist.com Peter M. DeLorenzo's reviews. ON THE TABLE - MONDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2010 AT 04:33PM (Photos courtesy of GM Corp.) GM is marking 10 years of automotive design at its North Hollywood Advanced Design Center, a milestone that, according to GM, "honors GM’s rich California heritage and celebrates the innovative spirit of the designers who are creating the vehicles of the future." The North Hollywood Design Center includes designers from the United States, England, France, Germany, Finland, Italy, Korea and Iraq. The design center has won the prestigious L.A. Design Challenge three of the last six years. “GM Design traces its roots back to Hollywood native Harley Earl and California’s rich, diverse and eclectic culture, which has inspired some of our greatest designs over the past century,” said Ed Welburn, GM’s vice president of Global Design. “And since its inception, the North Hollywood Advanced Design Center has continued this tradition and played an integral role in some of our most notable advanced concepts the last decade.” The studio’s design team has been led since its opening by studio director Frank Saucedo, and has created vehicles like the Chevrolet SS concept (above), the Pontiac Solstice and others below. THE LINE - MONDAY, DECEMBER 10, 2012 AT 09:02AM December 19, 2012 (Chevrolet) Chevrolet unveiled its 2013 NASCAR Chevrolet SS race car in Las Vegas on November 29th. Chevrolet's newest entry in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series closely resembles the all-new rear wheel drive V-8 Chevrolet SS performance sedan that will debut early next year.

  • MY10 VE and WM PRODUCT INFORMATION 3.0L and 3.6L SIDI
    September 2009 MY10 VE and WM PRODUCT INFORMATION 3.0L and 3.6L SIDI V6 Engines Overview The Global V6 engine family was launched by General Motors in 2003 to fulfil its strategy to build a new generation of engines for flexible worldwide application in premium and high- performance vehicles. Today GM Powertrain’s all-alloy 60-degree double overhead cam (DOHC) Global V6 engines power a variety of vehicles around the world. GM Holden is a producer as well as a user of Global V6 engines. In 2003 its newly commissioned $400 million Port Melbourne V6 engine plant began building Global V6 engines for export. In August 2004 Alloytec Global V6 engines were introduced to the Australian market with the Holden VZ Commodore and WL Caprice and Statesman model ranges. The latest evolution of the Global V6 is the Spark Ignition Direct Injection SIDI V6; which offers advanced direct combustion chamber fuel injection. Like its predecessor, the SIDI V6 applies highly developed engine technologies such as state-of- the-art casting processes, full four-cam phasing, ultra-fast data processing and torque-based engine management. GM Holden engineers jointly assisted in the architectural development of the SIDI V6 with colleagues from GM technical centres in North America and Germany. The 3.0L and 3.6L SIDI V6 engines introduced with the MY10 Holden Commodore, Berlina, Calais, Sportwagon, Ute, Statesman and Caprice model ranges combine with smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission and dual exhaust specified as standard*. They deliver a balance of improved operating refinement with first-rate noise and vibration control, good specific output, high torque over a broad rpm band, fuel economy and low emissions, exclusive durability-enhancing features and very low maintenance.

  • Service Bulletin PRELIMINARY INFORMATION
    File in Section: - Bulletin No.: PI1084 Service Bulletin Date: November, 2013 PRELIMINARY INFORMATION Subject: Chevrolet SS New Model Features and Service Guide Models: 2014 Chevrolet SS Sedan Equipped with 6.2L V-8 Engine — RPO LS3 Equipped with Hydra-Matic" 6L80 6-Speed Automatic Transmission — RPO MYC with TapShift® and Rear Wheel Drive Bulletin Purpose 3634903 This is a special bulletin to introduce the 2014 Chevrolet SS, Chevrolet’s first V-8 rear-wheel-drive performance sedan since 1996. The new Chevrolet SS is designed to deliver performance on the street and on the track. The purpose of this bulletin is to help the Service and Sales Department Personnel become familiar with the new vehicle's features and describe the action the Service Department Personnel will need to take to ensure that they are able to fully service this vehicle. Vehicle Overview The SS has staggered front and rear wheels, which are pushed out to the corners, enhancing the sporting, muscular stance of the vehicle. Up front, the hood features a subtle “power bulge” hinting at the capability of the engine underneath. At the rear, the tapered, tear-drop shape improves aerodynamic performance. Premium features include jewel-like chrome accents, standard high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and light-emitting diode (LED) daytime running lights. Along the vehicle’s sides, a character line extends from the hood to the trunk lid, helping create a classic wedge shape by further accentuating the planted appearance and muscular sheet metal. The vehicle tapers at the rear, with the C-pillar flowing into the rear compartment lid, improving aerodynamic performance.
